Thanks, kdesu works, cool :-)
Previous installs (TDE 3.5.12), it seems, root could run a command from the cli,
ie the environment must? have been setup pointing to the TDE stuff. Anyway kdesu
works fine my my purposes, probably a better method, I don't have to use xhost to
allow root access to the display.

Peace,

TDE 3.5.13 Debian Squeeze
I was trying to run 'kcron' as root, from a root prompt in konsole.
'kcron' is not found, I have to use full path '/opt/trinity/bin/kcron'.
This brings up kcron but trying to add a cron job causes a crash, the
crash handler pops up.
I get this info from the terminal:
"In file /build/buildd/kdeadmin-trinity-3.5.13/./kcron/ktview.cpp, line
372: Out of memory
KCrash: crashing... crashRecursionCounter = 2
KCrash: Application Name = kcron path =<unknown> pid = 4347
kdeinit: Got EXEC_NEW 'drkonqi' from socket.
Could not load library! Trying exec....
kdeinit: PID 4413 terminated."
I noticed that using the 'export' command, there is no reference to
KDEDIR(S) or PATH to the Trinity stuff.
I installed the metapackage 'kdebase-trinity', 'kdepim-trinity' and a
few apps, not the full DE.
It seems like kcron can't find a library. what sets up the TDE
environment for root ?
You should probably be using <kdesu kcron> Kdesu is the wrapper to
transfer X credentials. Bug 394 is marked fixed (but see 703) and kdesu
mostly works here.
I too use a selective TDE install on Squeeze and don't use sudo
I can use kcron that way here. It will however crash like you say if I
don't first highlight the "tasks" box for the user I want to set a new
task for (usually root)
If I do highlight the "tasks" box it works and the task shows up in
/var/spool/cron/crontabs/root
Let us know, if that works for you.
